Four times out of five the linesman gets a better view of the ball near him than the player himself.

No player can become accustomed to New York's climate in August in a few days. The playing conditions, the courts in New York and France are very different.

I can remember when, as a beginner, I was delighted with any ball as long as it would bounce.

The angle from which the line and ball are seen makes a tremendous difference in the call, and the player who is inclined to fret inwardly about decisions should realize this.

My feelings, as the last ball travelled over the net, and as I realized that the final match was mine, I cannot describe. I felt that here was a prize for all the games I had ever played.

Four times out of five the linesman gets a better view of the ball near him than the player himself.

I love the feel of hitting the ball hard, the pleasure of a rally. It is these things that make tennis the delightful game that it is.

The seeded draw came into being. This means that the two best players of the tournament are placed in opposite halves in the draw, and cannot possibly meet until the finals, if they come through successfully against all the rest of the participants.

When I play, I become entirely absorbed in the game. It may be a form of concentration.

Balls should be good for at least six sets, and for more for the average player. But if the rallies are long, they do not last as long as this. There is a fuzz on the surface that wears off on the hard court.

Unless a player goes in for intensive play and tournament competition, two racquets are sufficient.

Spectators often express disfavor of fair decisions.

The 1927 Wimbledon finals were almost put off because of the rain, which threatened every moment.

Every man prefers to look at a well-shaped woman instead of a rubber ball.

I just shot my first dramatic movie in France, and for those dramatic scenes that I shot, I would not want to look at those. There's a certain mindset you have to put yourself into for those scenes, and looking at the monitor would just take you out of it.

People just love to be entertained, and in order to entertain them, you have to do things in a way that they understand.

Parents have become so convinced that educators know what is best for their children that they forget that they themselves are really the experts.

What we want to tell, we wish our friend to have curiosity to hear.

I just developed my act way back in the late '80s. I went to college in Georgia, so I picked up the Southern accent. I talked like that with my friends all the time, because it was fun. It was funny... All my friends were real Southern. We're buddies, so I'd say stuff to make them laugh. So that was pretty much it.

You can't take it with you

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.

Don't let anybody tell you different, man: The main goal in life careerwise should always be to try to get paid to simply be yourself.

The war project at Stanford was essentially completed, and I accepted an offer of an Assistant Professorship at the University of Minnesota, which had a good biochemistry department.

Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court.

We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party.

I think anti-Semitism is the meal ticket of the organizations that fight it.

We probably wouldn't worry about what people think of us if we could know how seldom they do.

Like other revolutionaries I can thank God for the reactionaries. They clarify the issue.

Of course, my faith has a lot to do with being able to be public without being a public nuisance.

And I don't believe that I have to stay on one side of the fence or the other. I don't believe that there is any good career move or bad career move. I believe there are only the things that make me happy.

Age is just a number, and your talent will never fail you. It has no expiry date.

I'll be at the table, as I've been, willing to talk to any Republican who says, 'Look, my country is more important, this pile of bills is not going to go away, the challenges that we have is not going to disappear, we need to cross that divide.' I'm ready. I'm waiting.

When there is a strong woman character in a story - that always grabs me.

I think everyone's a little afraid of being part of a trend, because you get compared to each other. Writers tend to have a lot of camaraderie, and when you're constantly compared to someone else, it kind of damages that camaraderie, but I think this is a great trend. I'm honored to be a part of it in many ways.

There's lots of charity stuff that I can do. There are actually a million things to do here, but it would be very hard for me to stop going overseas, because I've been doing that for longer than I've been playing in the WNBA.

Sometimes I can't think of a better way to end my day than coming home and just strumming my ukulele for a few minutes. I mean, I joke around and tell people that it's an entire yoga session in one strum, you know?

We're not meant to be parents when we're 50.
